Thriveworks opens in Sandy Springs, expanding care access for Georgia's 1.8M with a mental health condition

Sandy Springs, GA, July 24, 2026: Thriveworks, a nationwide provider of comprehensive in-person and online mental health services, including talk therapy and psychiatry, has opened a clinic in Sandy Springs, Georgia. This new location highlights Thriveworks’ ongoing commitment to expanding access to comprehensive mental health services across Georgia.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Georgia is facing a growing mental health crisis. Adults with a mental health condition rose from nearly 1.4 million in 2021 to over 1.8 million in 2025, with 475,000 living with a serious mental illness. More than 5 million Georgians live in communities without enough mental health services. 

“The mental health needs of Sandy Springs and surrounding areas are growing,  and too many residents are unable to access the care they need,” says Lisa Pringle, Regional Clinic Director for Thriveworks in Sandy Springs. “We’re committed to changing that. This new location brings quality, flexible behavioral healthcare directly to local community members, so we can meet them where they are.”

Thriveworks offers flexible appointments, including evenings and weekends, with the first appointment typically within 5–7 days, versus the national average wait of six weeks. Patients can choose from a variety of providers to find the best match. Thriveworks is in-network with 360+ insurance plans, including Medicare, and offers self-pay options, with no membership or hidden fees.
